Perl doesn't seem to handle {n,m} rexprs where n or m are double digits.
For example, this script has no output:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$_ = 'aiiiiiiiiiiiiiib';
if (/ai{6,25}b/) { print "ok\n"; }
I'm still at PL18, waiting for the dbm stuff to get fixed.

That's been fixed.

That's been fixed too. I hope to put out the next patch this week
sometime, but things are being hectic, as usual.
